First Kiss Friday
»»————- ♡ ————-««
Every Friday I share the first kiss from a book. This week it’s from my steamy RH, Ink.

Ink smiled and raised a single thumb. Was he trying to tell me I was doing a fantastic job? Before I could ask what that meant, he brushed it against my Cupid’s bow and down. My lips parted, a pant building in my lungs, and my tongue tried to slip out like it had intentions of wrapping around his thumb. Or other things.
But his thumb continued lower, the trace of his fingerprint caressing the hollow of my throat and down my sternum. What was he going to do? What did he want?
I glanced up at him, his lips glistening from a powerful breath, and one thought bounced through my brain. Kiss me.
A fist clamped around my hair, yanking the curls down until I was forced to stare up at him. The pull stung but there was no pain, only a tingle ringing through me.
Chuckling in his deep baritone, Ink circled his other hand around my jaw and leaned down. With his forehead pressing to mine, he whispered, “You’re going to be fun.”
His lips overpowered mine. No fumbling, no cautious touch. They moved as if they knew precisely where to be, exactly the right amount of pressure, and his tongue… Fuck, that thing knotted up like a Cirque acrobat. Heat rampaged through me at the taste of him. Smoke on a midnight row across a lake, fog drifting through the dewy morning, the impenetrable darkness of a forest never conquered.
I kissed him and raked my nails from his wrists down those imposing biceps. Rolling my tongue with his, I imagined it was our naked bodies wrapped together instead.

Hey, no fair! That’s the guy you keep showing for Son of Krampus! He’s not who I was thinking about when I read Claws. Ink is more–swarthy–to me. He’s a demon who’s been around forever, and it took a lot of years for humanity to produce light-skinned folks. Besides, dark men are always sexier! SOK excluded, of course. LOL.

Finding stock images is a pain. I’d already bought that one so I deamoned it up when having to promote Ink back in October. As for Ink’s appearance, it’s a bit complicated. His looks will warp to make himself as attractive as possible to his prey, a bit like a chameleon that wants attention. Though he does come from the Alexandria area so his first body was a dark tan.

LOL! I was just teasing you, girlie! I just find that model SO sexy, that I’m planning on getting SOK when I start subbing next week. Soon, I’ll have my own money again, instead of just my husband’s–which I always feel guilty about spending on things for myself. Yes, even after being married almost 40 years.
